Chapter 10: Blood and the Steel Knife

After all, this is a bustling market, and since the steel knife pirates appeared in droves with knives, there have been countless passers-by who know how to protect themselves in all directions.

It didn't take long for the noisy streets to fall silent.

Shops closed as quickly as possible, occupants locked their doors and windows, and passers-by almost disappeared without a trace.

Captain Steel Knife naturally didn't bother to pay attention to the mediocre civilians, and his gaze completely stayed on Galen, who was heavily armored and greatsword.

He was not intimidated by Galen's outburst, but like Nami before him, he was awakened by Galen's gorgeous armor and peerless sword, and his greed for treasure.

"This guy is really rich..."

A greedy glint flashed in the eyes of the steel knife, and he waved his hand at the subordinates: "Surround me with that tin can!" ā€

The minions immediately obeyed the order, and surrounded Galen in three layers inside and three layers outside.

The long knives of the unified system are held in unison, and from a distance, it looks like a steel jungle has grown.

But the minions didn't do it directly, but deliberately showed off their fierce eyes, confronting the surrounded Galen at close range.

The great power Galen just showed couldn't frighten the powerful Captain Steel Knife, but it was more than enough to deter these third-rate minions.

The minion who had just been shaken away by Galen's hand was still slumped to the ground screaming and screaming...

Looking at the weird bending angle of his body, I'm afraid I'll have to spend the rest of my life with a wheelchair bed and urine bag in the future...

Galen didn't do anything, because it was the first time he had fought with such a murderer.

Big Teddy's trial only gave him the courage to fight to the death, but it didn't give him the experience to slash people with a sword.

The two sides were facing each other, but the quiet atmosphere was suddenly broken.

A small group of men and horses dressed in uniform arrived at the scene with hurried and messy steps.

Whether it was Galen, who was surrounded, or the steel knife that stood proudly, they all turned their heads with some curiosity.

These uniformed men are not navy, but sheriffs in every high-caliber town, who are responsible for maintaining order in the market, and at the same time will take action to clean up some weak pirates.

When they heard that there was a disturbance in the center of the town, they naturally had to come over and go through the procedure according to the regulations.

But the Steel Knife Pirates are obviously not a small pirate like them that an amateur security force can subdue.

When Captain Steel Knife saw this group of unattractive security officers, he immediately carried the big knife in his hand to his shoulder, and unceremoniously pointed to the sheriffs who had just arrived at the scene and had not yet figured out the situation:

"Our Steel Knife Pirates are here to kill people, and you rotten fish and shrimp dare to come over and do a lot of trouble?"

"Stand up for me!"

The Steel Knife Pirates...

As soon as this thunderous name in the nearby sea was spoken, a thin layer of cold sweat oozed from the forehead of the middle-aged security captain led by him.

This is definitely not a guy he can provoke, and he is lucky enough to be able to offer protection money to save his life.

So the sleek and sophisticated middle-aged sheriff immediately lost a weak smile, and a nodding "misunderstanding" was about to blurt out when he saw it.

But at this moment, a young and vigorous young man who had just joined the security team stood up angrily, pointed to the giant body of the steel knife, which was a full meter higher than him, and said without fear:

"Damn pirates!"

"I won't allow you to do anything wrong in my hometown!"

"Shut up!"

The middle-aged sheriff was the first to curse with a grim face, and then quickly leaned over to pull the stunned young man back.

However, it was too late.

"Oh?"

"In this group of rotten fish and shrimp, there is actually a warrior?"

The steel knife clenched the big knife in his hand, and an extremely hideous smile appeared on his face:

"Hahaha..."

"My broadsword, I like to lick the blood of warriors the most!"

Bang!

A gunshot rang out, and the flames burst out.

The young man who was burning with the blood of youth fell to the ground, struggling painfully in a pool of blood:

"Y-you..."

The young man had blood foaming in his mouth, but he was still full of reluctance to reprimand the shameless evil pirate in front of him:

"What about the big knife?"

"You with a gun..."

The Captain of the Steel Knife blushed, slowly withdrew the flintlock pistol he was carrying from the scabbard at his waist, and waved his bright broadsword at the young man in annoyance:

"I can use whatever I want!"

"How dare you have an opinion? Looks like you don't want to live anymore! ā€

As he spoke, the huge body of the steel knife, which was nearly three meters long, slowly approached the trembling security guards.

The cold light of the broadsword flickered, and the bloody and devouring aura rushed towards him.

He does kill people and kill more, even though these sheriffs are no threat to him.

Not only does this make Gangdao himself feel the pleasure of abusing the weak, but it also allows his evil name to be further spread on the sea.

There is a bit of black humor in this matter:

The Navy and the World Government have spent a lot of energy and money to develop a perfect bounty system for the pirates...

In the end, however, these bounties not only did not motivate the pirate hunters, but instead served as a guide to their selective work.

Most of these mediocre people will only rely on the guidance of the bounty order to find trouble with the little pirates, but they turn a blind eye to the high bounty pirates.

Even many navies under the banner of justice are eager to walk around these sea thieves.

They gradually lost the courage to swing their fists at the strong, and the pirates were demoralized by this.

The bounty has become a symbol of status and strength, and it has become a glorious title for pirates to meet and report themselves.

For the sake of this special identity card, the pirates will deliberately cause more senseless destruction and senseless killing.

Captain Steel Knife is one of the countless pirates who are looking for a higher bounty.

He can embellish his reputation with the lives of the weak without any psychological barriers. For example, the sheriffs in front of these weak chickens.

"Everyone, get out!"

Without hesitation, the middle-aged security captain gave a somewhat frustrated order.

Everyone immediately dispersed, and they had long wanted to run.

The murderous aura on the steel knife was so heavy that they were so frightened that they even threw their weapons and equipment on the ground.

And the captain of the sheriff who gave the order did not run himself.

This middle-aged man with slightly gray temples stood firmly in front of the young man who had been wounded by the gunshot, and then...

He fell to his knees in front of the steel knife.

"Steelsword-sama!"

The middle-aged sheriff lay on his stomach, his voice trembling but clear and powerful

"The child is not sensible, please be magnanimous and forgive his rudeness!"

"I—I didn't..."

The overheated young man is still struggling in a pool of blood, and he refuses to breathe a sigh of relief.

The middle-aged sheriff's forehead was bruised.

If it weren't for the injuries on this junior, he would have wanted to turn around and give this stunned young man a few big ear scrapers.

But at this time, he had no choice but to bow his spine deeper, more bent, and more humble.

"Hahaha..."

Steel Knife laughed and stopped approaching, laughter echoing through the dead streets.

Soon, it came to an abrupt end.

He grimaced, and said in a voice that was distorted with pleasure:

"It's too late."

"I want to kill."

The broadsword was raised high.

The middle-aged sheriff closed his eyes helplessly.

"Enough!"

A thunderclap exploded, and anger soared into the sky.

The steel knife stopped the blade in his hand, turned his head with considerable interest, and followed the voice:

It's the man with the heavy armor and the big sword.

Surrounded by the crowd, Galen's eyes lit up with rage like never before.

"Is this what a pirate is called?"

Galen, whose world view has been greatly refreshed, his hands clenching the big sword are clenched white from anger:

"Thank you so much, you guys showed up..."

In this world's vast group of pirates, there are only a few dreamers who pursue freedom like in the comics, and even those who are purely evil careerists are very rare.

The largest number is still the scum in front of Galen who uses the abuse of the weak to get pleasure.

Galen was deeply disgusted by this.

For the first time, he had the urge and desire to take the initiative to fight, to fight for those who could not.

So Galen clenched his great sword, turned his head slightly, and shouted behind him:

"Nami, take care of yourself!"

"Huh?"

Galen was answered by a pirate minion's inexplicable snort.

Behind Galen, the figure of the orange-haired girl was long gone.

As long as you have the opportunity, you must not put yourself in danger, this is the survival wisdom of Nami, the little thief cat.

"Ugh..."

Galen was very helpless: "I've been tricked again..."
